Mystery Taste

When Miss Taylor said that we had to get something to use as a blindfold We all felt curious. I felt my skin shake and then everything went black as the blindfold went on.

 I took a giant sniff and gulped as a ball of curiosity hit my skin. Nothing could replace that evil smell. I took one more sniff and I immediately wanted to take off the blindfold, the suspense was killing me. Was it banoffee Pie? Was it an orange? Was it a mandarin? Nobody knew.

I could sense my hand shaking in anxiety as I reached out to touch it. It felt slimy, wet and bumpy I knew exactly what it was or so I thought…

I could tell some other people knew what it was as they were shaking around in their desks with excitement. It felt like there was a mini earthquake going on.

I could hear the skin of the mystery food squish as the juice came out. I tried to resist tasting it, but I wanted to know what it was so badly, like a lion has found its prey but not wanting to pounce. Suddenly I took a bite.

I knew what it was immediately. Nothing could replace that taste. I tried to take another bite but I couldn’t. The sour grape like taste made my throat sting like a bee stings a human. I hated the taste so much that I couldn’t take another bite it was disgusting.

The sight was terrible nothing like what I imagined. When I took the blindfold off I thought I would see something more like an orange but no it was nothing like that. It was a LEMON!!!!!

Real Life Superheroes Alfred Shout

This term for inquiry we had to find someone who we think is a real life superhero. We had to think of three questions to research and then we had to answer the questions in paragraphs. Next we had to make a either a slide, a poster, a double door or a powtoon. I did mine on Alfred Shout who was a soldier in world war one and I did a slide. We had to present it in front of the whole class and some people brought in their parents. I really enjoyed doing this.

Metaphor Poem

Over the past two weeks Room 7 have been learning how to write effective metaphors. A metaphor is a direct comparison to an object/thing. One of our activities was we had to  describe ourselves as a lolly, tree, vehicle, something in our community, a sandwich and a piece of clothing. 

My favourite one that I made was Katie is a pohutakawa tree, lovely and bright.
